Feeling kinda hopeless at the moment I'm normally pretty positive, but I had a really awful day today. Tried to explain something at work and I just couldn't get any words out. Felt like an idiot, I know it's not my fault I just can't help but beat myself up over it sometimes. I can never make lasting connections with people either because my stutter just gets in the way. It's very hard sometimes being so alone and frustrated. I know I'll get over it, I have done in the past. But I have these waves, it comes and goes. One month it doesn't phase me the next it destroys me. Very down at the moment
